Formscan - SINISTER MINISTER scored readily over an extended 2m4f at Bangor on his penultimate start before posting a lacklustre effort when the quick turnaround may have caught him out under two weeks later at Hereford last October. Eased 1lb, he gets the tentative vote to show his rivals the way home on his return. Bring The Action clearly benefitted from wind surgery when scoring in determined fashion at Hereford last month and is respected, despite a 5lb rise. The largely consistent Pilgrims King also merits consideration, for all that he has never won from a mark this high.
